blossom dearie

Our orchard is suddenly bursting with blossom, blushing pink apple

and bright white pear:

We have bounteous blossom in the fruit cage, too, on the sweet and sour cherry trees:

While our branches may not be as chic as Jane Packer's stems, they do have fabulous dessert potential. My thoughts are already racing ahead to compotes, ice creams, cobblers, and cakes--oh my! But must remember patience is a virtue, because even with this super sunshine, we still have many months to go...

    I think your branches look very chic. There is something very special about blossom flowers.

    I picked and ate the first of our rhubarb yesterday. I feel a good gardening season coming on!

    Oh, your homemade ice cream, definitely something to look forward to! The only thing in blossom at my house is my indoor lemon plant but we'll soon catch up.

    I love your photos and thoughts here Kristina! Dreaming of desserts to come -yumm! And (eventually) chutney perhaps? Now the trees just look so pretty though!

    Next door's pear tree, which used to hang over our garden with it's blossom, looks decidedly dead. I am devastated.

    Gorgeous photographs. We're probably about a month behind up here. There's no sign of blossom yet!
